Gallbladder surgery with back wall sparing in cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgical method for removing the gallbladder that tries to keep the back wall of the gallbladder intact. It may be safer for people with cirrhosis and gallstones who need surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have cirrhosis (liver scarring) that is Child class A or B (mild to moderate liver disease).
- You have gallstones (cholelithiasis).
- You are healthy enough to have surgery.

This study tests a method to remove bile duct stones during gallbladder surgery, aiming to treat both problems in one procedure.
This study tests whether removing the gallbladder through a single small cut (single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is safe and effective for people with acute cholecystitis (sudden gallbladder inflammation). It may mean less pain and faster recovery than traditional surgery.
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound guidance to create a small opening between your gallbladder and stomach or small intestine, allowing gallstones to pass without removing your gallbladder. It may help if you have symptoms from gallstones but want to preserve your gallbladder.
This study tests a new type of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) to remove both gallstones and bile duct stones at the same time. The goal is to avoid the need for a second procedure or a drainage tube after surgery.
This trial tests whether older adults (75+) who have had bile duct stones removed will benefit from also having their gallbladder taken out. It aims to prevent future problems by comparing outcomes for those who get the surgery versus those who don't.
This trial compares two ways to drain and treat gallbladder problems without removing the gallbladder entirely: one uses an endoscope (a camera tube passed through your mouth), and the other uses a tube placed through your skin. It's designed for patients who are too sick for traditional gallbladder surgery or who want to keep their gallbladder.
